5 Reasons why Alerts are Awesome
It's always important to stay on top of your account activity and know what's happening with your finances. Luckily, Alerts are here to help! These automated notifications can be sent right to your email, phone, or even your mobile app.
Here are 5 reasons why Alerts are awesome:
Real-Time Account Updates
With Alerts, you can get notified about your account activity in real time. You can set up alerts from when a deposit like a paycheck or your tax return hits your account, to when your balance reaches a certain threshold or even when a loan payment is due. This way, you can stay on top of your finances and avoid any surprises.
Avoid Overdrafts and Fees
No one likes to get hit with overdraft fees or late payment charges. With eAlerts, you can set up notifications to remind you when your balance is getting low or when a payment is due. This way, you can avoid these fees and stay in control of your finances.
Enhanced Security
At Prospera Credit Union, we take security seriously. That's why Alerts can help you monitor your account for any unauthorized activity. If a transaction is made from your account that you didn't authorize, you'll receive an Alert immediately, allowing you to take action and protect your account.
Save Time
With Alerts, you can save time by eliminating the need to log in to your account to check your balance or transaction history. Instead, you can receive notifications on your phone or email, allowing you to stay up-to-date with your finances without any extra effort.
Keeps You on Task
Alerts can also be used to track your savings goals. For example, if you're saving for a vacation, you can set up an alert to notify you when you reach a certain savings milestone. This can help you stay motivated and on track with your savings plan. You can also use Alerts to remind you to make regular contributions to your savings account, helping you reach your goals even faster. With Alerts, you can turn your savings goals into a reality by keeping yourself accountable and motivated.
Setting up Alerts is easy:
- Log into online banking

- Select Alerts
- Enable the type of alerts you'd like to receive (balance and transaction alerts are great ways to start!)
- select how you'd like to receive your alerts by clicking the email, SMS text, or push notification icons
